intrusion preventions for development? Hi,


Anyone on these forums know of a quick & easy way, without unnecessarily having to dabble in any GUIs or unnecessarily triggering any security protections & alerts, just so as to completely disable ALL drivers & services relevant to ALL firewall, anti-virus, intrusion preventions. Thus, allowing control to do any necessary testing, development and then obviously reinstating these afterwards?

Currently, seems the most effective quick & easy way of instantly disabling ALL drivers & services, is by using a little known vector, by preparing a list (see example registry entries below) of security protections for all the products/versions you wish to disable on your system (i.e. disable.reg). Then on executing your pre-prepared list on your system (administrative privileges are assumed) will disable them all in one go on reboot.

For example, the following registry entries will disable all these security protections:
McAfee
ZoneAlarm
Avast
Trusteer Rapport
Comodo
AVG
ISS Proventia
